R.E.M - It's The Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)

Del Amitri - Roll To Me

Can honestly say I've never heard of them, but the beauty of streaming platforms means I can have a listen to part of them (if shite) or all of them if good

Superb post min, love hearing about stuff like that, obviously apart from the bit about him being deid. I'd of loved to have had a day rummaging through his musical collection, thought mine was pretty extensive but fuck me, sounds like he takes it to a whole new level and even a man of my vintage years never possessed ant eight tracks although I certainly remember them and mind my mate's dad playing one by Johnny Cash every time I was in the car with them Your right about Frampton and his popularity over in the States, whereas in the UK he is probably as well known as having been part of the bands The Herd and Humble Pie. After posting my message about Frampton it put me in mind of just how good a year 1976 was for albums and decided to do a little research and came up with the following link https://www.radiox.co.uk/features/x-lists/best-albums-1976/ I already have thirteen of them, others I've heard along the way since but the likes of the Blondie (honestly didn't know they recorded as far back as that), Ramones & The Modern Lovers ones I have no recollection of and am now setting myself the goal of listening to all twenty five of them whilst working from home. It'll remind of what music was like in my early teens.

Paul Young - I'm Going To Tear Your Playhouse Down

As I said earlier in this thread Sweden implement VAR best. They simply don't recognise it

Your clutching at straws if you think the clowns that run the game in Scotland could possibly approve something so sensible

Labi Siffre - (Something Inside) So Strong

How the fuck can this album be fifty years old next year. Famous for often being quoted as the biggest selling live album of all time (but it isn't, that is Clapton's - Unplugged) and also his extensive use of the talk box, this album blew me away in 1976 and still regularly gets played by myself. I have had the pleasure to see him live on five occasions since it's release including the FCA 35th anniversary tour when he played the album in it's entirety at The Royal Concert Hall in Glasgow back in November 2011. Still sounds great fifty years on

The Kinks - You Really Got Me

Couldn't watch last night as in radio studio so only have the Sportscene highlights to go on. Can't really add much, if anything to what has had been said. IMHO goal in first half should have stood, penalty award shouldn't have been given. The entire handball scenario is just nonsense, if you are going to have a handball rule, make it fucking simple, ball hits hand under any circumstances in the penalty box then penalty given, then at least everyone knows where they stand. The Swedes know what they're doing by refusing to implement VAR in their domestic football. Somewhat ironic that the game we actually look like scoring a few, that our defence, which has been so solid, decides to to take a night off.

Please please make it true Think I might combust

Here is the album Some seriously decent artists covering tracks on the film soundtrack.

Regarding changes in your musical taste as you get older, for me Bob Dylan is a classic point in case. I literally had never been a fan of his until my Spotify feed suggested that I listen to an album where various artists were covering his songs and it was outstanding. Must be the only instance where that is the route I've taken to start listening to an artist. In terms of lyrical composition he is absolutely right up there in my eyes now. Also reckon he must be one of the worlds most covered artists

Elton John is acceptable, but only if it is early stuff as some of those albums are outstanding. Anything however, from about '78 onwards should be piled up and set on fire in my humble opinion
